The New York Giants made it a priority to add pass rushers this off-season after injuries significantly impacted their group in 2020. Last year, the Giants rolled with Carter Coughlin and Jabaal Sheard as their primary outside linebackers after Lorenzo Carter, and Oshane Ximines went down for the season.
Ultimately, despite the absence of a true and tried OLB, the Giants racked up 40 total sacks, which ranked 12th in the NFL, a surprisingly successful number. Thanks to a dominant interior defensive line and a solid secondary, coordinator Patrick Graham managed to scheme together one of the best defenses in football.
